Are you kidding? You have been here since 2006, posted a whole lot and you don’t know?
There are plenty of oldtimers who ping people to their own thread.
I guess they’re confusing it with a bump.
Well, everything was working fine until now.
I did not need a ping list.
Sort of like the kid that never talked until his parents tried to feed him oatmeal.
I’ve been around for a while myself and never really got into the ping thing either. Some of us are mainly read-and-respond freepers.
